Full window custom drawing #105

How would I go about styling the whole window's body? Is that even possible using just INAppStoreWindow?

indragiek commented 11 years ago

Use INAppStoreWindow to draw your titlebar and add a subview to the content view to draw the content background. That would cover everything.

avaidyam commented 11 years ago

Oh, this would make sense, but I'm trying to reproduce a HUD window, so wouldn't this break?

If you want an HUD window with transparency you'll need to create a borderless, transparent NSWindow so you can't use INAppStoreWindow.— Indragie Karunaratne

@galaxas0 You cannot use INAppStoreWindow to create an HUD window. Try this, perhaps.

avaidyam commented 11 years ago

That was precisely my thought, but I love what INAppStoreWindow offers. Oh well!

jwilling commented 11 years ago

The main idea behind INAppStoreWindow is to provide some way to extend the existing titlebar and add content to it.

If you don't want to go borderless you can always swizzle the drawing of the theme frame, which will effectively give you a completely transparent window.

I didn't want to go that route, but I guess I must.
